Students explore the relationship between geometry and ancient American art. They see how to recognize geometric properties in specific works and explain how these properties contribute to their meaning and artistic merit.

Math and science come together in this cross-curricular astronomy lesson plan on planetary motion. Starting off with a hands-on activity that engages the class in exploring the geometry of circles and ellipses, this lesson...

Students develop an appreciation of the use of geometry in our everyday world and structures. Students collect various picures and multimedia objcets that explain geometric principles and place them in a powerpoint presentation to be...

Students investigate the architecture in their hometown by visiting buildings.  In this geometry lesson, students examine buildings through photographs and explain the different geometric shapes found in the architecture....

Students explore geometry by participating in a shape rotation experiment. In this symmetry lesson, students identify the term symmetry and a list of other geometry vocabulary. Students analyze shapes as they are turned 90 degrees and...

Students recognize the number prefixes used throughout the English language. They identify the shapes and the prefixes that are associated with them.

Students identify the different types of bridges. Using the internet, they research information on how they are built by completing a scavenger hunt. Locating a specific area, they determine which type of bridge would be appropriate and...

Ninth graders gain an understanding of Chaos Theory that exists in one's everyday environment.

Studnents examine the degree of biodiversity that exists in one's everyday environment, in order to develop an understanding of how scientists classify organisms and to explain why biodiversity is important for living things.

Students explore the mathematical properties of traditional American Indian lodges. They examine the effect of increasing sides of a polygon, calculate the surface area of prisms and cylinders, and construct a classroom size pyramid...

Students classify, flip, slide, and turn a quantity of quadrilaterals.

Students read the novel, The Time Machine, and compare H.G. Well's perceptions of the future with those presented in The Third Wave, by Alvin Toffler. They research current scientific and mathematical theories that relate to space and time.

Middle schoolers examine statistics by completing a skateboard measuring activity. In this flex lesson plan, students define what skateboard "flex" refers to and identify the proper method of measuring flex by conducting an experiment...

Students create a glossary of geometric terms while exploring tangram manipulatives.

Fourth graders are introduced to the vocabulary needed to identify the attributes of two and three-dimensional figures. They work together to create a word wall, which contains the geometric terminology being learned.

Students search the school grounds for examples of symmetry in nature. They bring examples back to the classroom and write about them.

Sixth graders participate in a lesson that is about investigating the different layers of the earth and defining how the plates move over the mantle. They engage in a variety of activities and use mathematics to create projects to...

Students explore various ways to use the Internet for extra help in school. In this technology lesson plan, students go to various "ask an expert" websites. Students review the process of using these Internet resources.
